I am also a huge fan of Edward Abbey, and in partcialur his novel Desert Solitarie, which I think gives more insight into the Western mind than anything else I have ever read. I used to keep three or four copies in my office and give it to people that asked me about Utah or western issues. It is a great book and Stegner taught Abbey.
Abbey is another one I enjoy, but he was a hypocrite. Rather than litter the road he hated to make it ugly, he should never have driven on it.
